sidering the season. This was particularly the case 

 with such vegetables as are grown in large quantities 

 in this county, such as sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes. 

 The melon exhibit was almost a failure, as their was no 

 home crop to speak of. 



There seems to be more interest manifested in the 

 exhibits of this Department, and with a favorable sea- 

 son I feel this interest will grow and the exhibits con- 

 tinue to increase.

FIELD, SEED AND GRAIN DEPARTMENT. 



The Field, Seed and Grain Department of the 1915 

 Kentucky State Fair was one of the most attractive and 

 interesting shows we have ever had. While there were 

 only three county exhibits, they were very fine, and well 

 arranged, and excited favorable comment from the in- 

 terested crowds that view them. These exhibits were 

 from Jefferson, Hardin and Oldham counties. 



In Lot 293, Farm Products, the exhibit was very at- 

 tractive and extensive, and it was often taken for a 

 county display. 



The corn exhibit was greater than ever, and the in- 

 terest manifested was greater than I have ever noticed 

 before. The ten-ear and single-ear displays were most 

 attractive, judging from the remarks passed by the 

 spectators who remained about the tables all day. 



The small grain, such as wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc., 

 were not overlooked. Many were the questions that men 

 in charge were called upon to answer. There were 

 other products of the farm in this Department that were 

 more or less interesting and attractive, for instance, sor- 

 ghum, hemp, kaffir com, grasses, clovers, etc.
